BIOGRAPHY
Apostle Leon M. Emerson

Apostle Leon M. Emerson is the founding and presiding Pastor of Now Faith Christian Center Church (NFCCC) in Denver, Colorado. A native of Caruthersville, Missouri, he relocated to Denver, Colorado where he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  This anointed Pastor, Prophet, and Teacher attended Wilberforce University and received an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Denver Institute of Urban Studies.

Ordained into the ministry at the age of 24, he and his wife, Co-Pastor Yvonne Emerson, took the charge to start NFCCC in January 1983. Apostle Emerson proclaims that God instructed him to preach faith and hope back into the hearts of the people and does so by shepherding and leading with the love of Jesus Christ. Leon Emerson’s passion for helping hurting people is evident through his ministries which include: Committed to Serve (C.T.S.) Men’s Ministry, Prison Ministry, and a life-changing Youth Ministry.
Through his leadership, NFCCC has developed numerous community programs and outreach ministries designed to meet the economic, social, and spiritual, needs of families. The Rocky Mountain News wrote, “Pastor Emerson’s baritone voice stirs the crowd with God’s truth and charismatic presence making him one of Denver’s best known civic figures, linking the circle of church, neighborhood and politics.” A recipient of several community awards and accolades, Pastor Emerson is sincere about challenging men to assume the responsibility as priest of their homes and to walk in the destiny that God has ordained for their lives.

In addition to pastoring the ever-growing NFCCC congregation, Apostle Emerson travels throughout the country delivering an anointed, life-changing Word of God. He also hosts a weekly radio and television broadcast, “The Excellent Name of Jesus” and is the CEO of Colorado Council for Urban Youth Development, a non-profit organization established to promote the well-being of Colorado youth. He serves as the President of the Board for Colours Television Network which broadcasts to millions nationwide. Pastor Emerson’s commitment to empowering families through higher education, strong economics and employment growth, is evident by his participation in the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance (GMDMA). After serving two consecutive terms as President of the Greater Metropolitan Denver Ministerial Alliance, which represents over 100 churches in the Metro Denver area, serving numerous local communities, he was elected in 2011 to serve an additional term as President.

Apostle Leon M. Emerson has been married to Yvonne Emerson for 35 years and has four lovely daughters, a son-in-law and two grandchildren.
